Great review. I’m a long long term motoz user and have been through many of their tires. I use a similar setup on my r1200gs. I spend a lot of time on and off road. The gps is a bit of a secret weapon. The trick is to drop the rear tire to 20-25 psi and then it really hooks up well on all off-road surfaces. It such a beast the low pressure is not a problem, even on rocks. It handles fine on all road surface in New Zealand. The only time I use my rear Rallz is on long off-road trips where there is mud. As for the front, I’ve had mixed experience. I was using the Rallz but it was unpredictable. The DV is their best front yet and I had no complaints. I’m currently running a Shinto 804 as the replacement DV is not available. Oddly enough, the Shinko has turned out to be an very good 60/40 tire. Confidence in all settings. Enjoy the bike - love mine. Best all-rounder in the world.

Mot-Oz. They’re an Australian brand hence “Oz”.

Thanks for the video. I am about to change tires for next spring, so I am locking down on two tires...the MOTOZ GPS and the COntinental TKC70. I do mostly pavement and usually lots of rain, so I am mostly concerned with asphalt and wet roads grip. Thanks again.

They have done well for me well in wet conditions. Thanks for watching and commenting!

I am running GPS on rear and DV on front too. for the same reasons. Want great front tire off road and long life on the rear.

Good, honest review. Thanks mate. Do you lower tyre pressure on rear when you go on dirt & gravel? Cheers. Eddie. Ps I live in Aus so have a bias to support local, even though they are not manufactured in Australia. 😊

Enjoyed your review thanks. Which profile did you go with on the front, ie 110 or 120? Cheers!

I’ve just put a dv / gps combo on my Suzuki XF650 and looking forward to a 1500km trip this Friday,Saturday and Sunday. 50/50 dirt and bitumen. The dv is the tubeless type with tubes, and 19 front / 17 rear. $600 total, fitted with heavy duty tubes. I’m hoping they will be a good combination, but time will tell I guess. BTW, they’re pronounced Mo Toz (not Moto zee)

Can you update your post after your 1500km trip? I'm interested in your experience because I have a 2012 DL650 (VStrom) that seems similar in purpose. Thanks 🙂

@@davedempster3405 hi Dave, the trip went well. We covered around 1500km, with only about 600km of dirt and the rest bitumen. I was happy with the performance in all conditions. It was mostly dirt roads with loose gravel and a bit of sand etc, but no mud. They were surprisingly good in some dry river beds with deep shale / sand which was only a few miles so not a definitive test. I had the rear in the 50/50 direction. My mates were on a Tiger 800 and ktm 790, and I went everywhere they did, just a bit slower. I’m happy with the combination so far and can recommend them for all sorts of terrain as above. The area was from Burra to Broken hill and back if that’s any help to you (South Australia / New South Wales).

👍. How are the tyres going now please? How are they on wet roads / in rain please?

Good video. I will like to know how ti performs in wet asphalt. I had an Heidenau K60 on my F800GS and was very scary on wet asphalt, know I own a KTM 890S with Avons from the factory and will like a more off roar oriented tire. And the combination of GPS on back and Adventure on front, how those it perform on asphalt?.

Have you had any trouble with the dual venture causing steering wobble or following lines in the pavement? I put one on my 701 Enduro along with a RallZ on the rear, and it feels unsafe. I wonder if it's the tire or if the combination of the outer diameters changes the bike's geometry. I ran TKC80s before and the bike handled great.

Thanks for watching and commenting Brad. I have not experienced any wobble or issues with it following lines. After balancing during the install, it has ridden out fairly smooth for me. Would love to get some time one day on a 701/690!

Try adjusting your front tyre pressure. I found putting 2 bars in my front tyre sorted out the steering wobble on my 690 Enduro R.

Good video. A minor point but the Motoz name comes from the name for Australia, where the tyres come from. Australia is often called "Aus", which becomes Oz, hence Motoz.

Was that the tubed version or the tubeless (obviously fitted with a tube unless rims are converted) because I have heard that the tubeless is more stable?
